A rebuild contractor that sets the boundary first
What the code asks of the new crown
Florida's building code uses the word cap for what the trade calls the crown. That top may be concrete, metal or stone. It must slope to shed water, and it needs a drip edge plus a bond break around the flue lining.
A rebuild ends with a new crown built to that description. We explain the material and shape on the estimate and why each feature is there. A flat mortar wash spread over the top bricks does not meet that description, and we do not build one.
The inspection window and the rebuild price
Rebuilds are large projects, and you may want time to weigh one. Should you decide inside the 72 hours that follow your free inspection, whatever service you book in that span, the rebuild included, gets a 10% discount.
The window is counted from your own inspection, not from a calendar date. If you need longer, you can still book the rebuild, just without the discount. The removal line, the materials and the steps stay exactly as written, whichever way you choose. Ask us to confirm the date the window closes if that helps you plan.
Your approval before any removal
Nothing is taken down until you approve the rebuild scope. Once masonry is removed it cannot be put back, so this is the most important approval point in the project.
Take the time you need. Compare quotes, ask questions and, where the damage suggests it, get a structural opinion first. When you approve, the agreed scope becomes the reference for the job. Any change after that comes back to you as a separate item, priced and explained. Approving part of the work, such as the make-safe step alone, is also an option.
A top broken in a strong storm
After a strong storm, a chimney top can be left cracked, shifted or partly fallen. The first need is to keep the area below clear and stop water getting in.
Once the immediate risk is dealt with, we assess how far the damage goes. Some tops can be reset and repaired, while others need the damaged section rebuilt. Temporary protection and the permanent work are priced separately, so you can see what is urgent and what can follow. Keep a note of the date and what you saw, since it helps us judge what moved and when.
Steps a full rebuild may add
- Lining decision for the connected appliance
- Rain cap fitted to the flue
- Scaffold or roof staging
- Mortar smears cleaned from finished brick
What people ask before a rebuild
Will the rebuilt section match the rest of the chimney?
We aim for a close match in brick, mortar color and joint finish, and show you samples before work starts. New work often looks brighter at first and blends in as it weathers.
What happens to the flue lining during a rebuild?
The lining is rebuilt with the masonry, either as new clay flue tiles set as the courses rise or as a listed liner. The choice depends on the appliance connected, and it is priced as its own line.
What if you find more damage below the planned line?
We stop and show you what removal uncovered before going further. You hear what it means and what it would add, and the boundary moves only with your agreement.
